Former Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best is suing the NFL and helmet maker Riddell after concussion problems helped cut short his career. The lawsuit was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

It also accuses Riddell of making defective helmets and failing to inform the players of the long-term effects of concussions.
